Abstract:

This paper is intended to expose the public to Interactive Mind Mapping for CTU101 (Basic Principles of Islam) and CTU151 (Islamic Thought and Civilization) courses that have been developed based on structured questionnaires distributed to universities using IBM SPSS Software, version 21. Obviously, the findings of the study have become the foundation in establishing I-MAPS application that can be possibly accessed through available modern gadgets. In a constantly changing world, this effort is significant in order to increase one’s knowledge and understanding.
